I'm smart but not a snob, a good heart, observant, caring, and a little more sarcastic than I should be at times. I learn a lot about people by listening and letting them tell me about themselves, rather than making assumptions about who they are. I laugh a little too loudly sometimes but that's because I know laughter makes the soul feel good. Take a chance on me.

What I’m doing with my life

I am not concerned with making millions of dollars. I work because I love to be with people and I have focused my career on not only working with but also for others.

I’m really good at

I speak sarcasm as a second language. I am well read and knowledgeable about local/state/national current affairs.

The first things people usually notice about me

The good thing people usually notice is that I have incredible, green eyes. The bad thing that people notice is that i'm overweight. Don't judge me until you get a chance to know who I really am.

Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food

Books: I love the author Ken Follett. I read a lot.Movies: Comedies are first choice. Love certain types of horror movies. Dramas & a good cry are healthy.Music: I listen to a wide genre. Long time favs are Tori Amos, the Indigo Girls, 80's music, and a few classical pieces.Food: I have a great love of Asian food, apples, and chocolate (in no particular order).

I'm a liberal Democrat and I care deeply about social/political/religious issues. I am dismayed at the direction the state of Oklahoma seems to be going-I feel like we are losing progress and taking steps backwards. When we do this, we oppress others and hurt our communities. I don 't want to save the world but I seek harmony with my community and state.

On a typical Friday night I am

I like to stay in on Fridays. I'm usually unwinding from a week of work and I like the down time at home. This makes me sound really boring, huh? I promise I'm not.
